Arg... yes, it's the vertical look that is incorrect (I should not send

Same analysis. I didn't find where to set such property.

The Gtk help indicates that GtkTable is depreciated and GtkGrid should be
used instead. I don't know if behavior is better.

As an example, we can take a look at the "Properties" dialog offered by
Nautilus when clicking a file. The first tabs are the one that are generics
and can help to change some properties. The final tabs are the one that
give specific informations on the file (for example, the EXIF related data
of an image, or framerate and so of a video).
